They can't be clean if they're getting away with all that traveling. 🕺

For anyone who excludes Walt Bellamy:

Season    School        G    GS       FG    FGA    FG%    FT    FTA    FT%    TRB      BLK    PTS       
1958-59    Indiana        22            6.7    13.1    .512    3.9    6.4    .610    15.2      3.5    17.4      
1959-60    Indiana        24            8.8    16.5    .535    4.7    6.7    .702    13.5       3.0    22.4      
1960-61    Indiana       24            8.1    16.2    .501    5.5    8.5    .647    17.8         3.2    21.8     
Career    Indiana        70            7.9    15.3    .517    4.7    7.2    .654      15.5           3.2    20.6  
 

So, Walt over three years (freshmen didn't play varsity back then) averaged 20.6 ppg, 15.5 reb, and 3.2 blocks.

In comparison? Henderson averaged 16.0, 8.8 and 1.7, Zeller in two years averaged 16.1, 7.3, 1.2, May in three years averaged 17.7 and 6.6, Benson in four years averaged 15.3, 9.0 reb, and McGuiness in only one year at IU averaged 30.0 (!) and 14.7 reb.

Walt was a monster, and had a pretty good NBA career if I recall correctly.

From ESPN: 

 "...in October 1974, Bellamy had played his final game for the New Orleans Jazz and was placed on waivers. No team picked him up, and his 13-year career was over.

What had he accomplished?

When he retired from the NBA, he was sixth all-time in points, third in rebounds and third in field goal percentage. Since he averaged 20 points and 14 rebounds a game and shot 52 percent for his career."

Yeah, I'd say that qualifies as a "pretty good" career. He certainly deserves to be mentioned with the IU all-time greats. Happy to say I had the privilege to see him play, although back then, I heard more games on the radio than I saw on tv.
